After working out some last-minute bugs with contractor VoteNet, the online ballot was finalized today. We have provided it to VoteNet, and they have begun applying protocols and installing filters. Tomorrow morning (November 2), an email “blast” with instructions and links to the online ballot will be emailed to the 30,000-plus members who have provided USPA their email address. The homepage of the USPA website now also announces the beginning of the election, with a link to candidate information and a downloadable ballot, also found here: http://www.uspa.org/...bid/461/Default.aspx.

To ensure delivery, members are encouraged to add votenet.com and uspa.org to their list of approved contacts. The email will provide instructions and direct you to a website to place your votes.

If you do not receive your electronic ballot over the weekend, please contact Membership Services at membership@uspa.org.

1) How much time lapsed between receiving the email and your use of the link? I was told that the discreet link sent to each user was only good for a short period of time (2 or 3 days?), after which the member would have to call USPA and ask to have a new link emailed to them. I used mine the day after I received it and it worked fine.

2) What browser are you using? I use Google Chrome and it worked perfectly for me.
